Re: 11 am press conference (about coaching staff)

we can debate all we want about whether bringing Cam back is the right thing to do. I have mixed feelings about whether he should stay or go but at the end of the day I'll trust the same owner, GM and coach who got us to the playoffs 4 straight years (with 2 championship appearances) to make the right decisions in the best interest of the ravens and not we fans.
The only hump we need to get over (although a big one) is finishing and getting to the superbowl. That's the hump we need to overcome.

Re: 11 am press conference (about coaching staff)

I could keep using the same "pitch" on my sales calls cause I know I close X%, but I may close more and I may not if I change... how will I know unless I try.

If you run a business, it doesn't work that way.

Sure, you could hire someone better, you could also hire someone worse.

If the FO could not identify and get permission to interview or whatever for a guy they feel VERY confident about being an upgrade, you keep what you have as even though the Offense hasn't been the best, it has been good enough to get this team further than the organization has ever been sans that one single magical 2000 season.

Re: 11 am press conference (about coaching staff)

Exactly, I'd like them to at least explore. It's funny how we let teams raid our staff, but other teams void anyone from talking to their coaches... smh. If Cam stays, there has to be some type of change. We cannot keep rolling with his lethargic schemes and predictable play calling. Hopefully he's on a short leash.

Here is the deal though. we can assume the Ravens did look at other guys for the job. But I doubt they contacted anyone, could you imagine if that got out before the season was over? Cause that just ended Sunday. They damn sure didn't interview anybody (in this day and age we would have had that leaked).

So if they looked at anyone, all signs point to they didn't contact anyone, if they contacted anyone they didn't interview them.

IT would be reasonable to assume they are satisfied with the results of the offense from Cam Cameron.

Doubt satisfied is the right word. The franchise wants to win Lombardis. It's more there were probably not quite dissatisfied enough to fire him.

Re: 11 am press conference (about coaching staff)

Could be any number of reasons. Maybe the players and coaches like Pees' style more. Maybe Brooks just wants to stay DL coach.

None of us can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Brooks is clearly better than Pees. All we have is Pees' track record as a DC in NE, versus Brooks' work as a DL coach. Pretty hard to equate the two.
